Podcast appearances and mentions of ray greene

The Trombone Corner Podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark.  Join hosts Noah and John as they interview Nick Lane, commercial trombonist from Los Angeles.   About Nick: Nick Lane is a free lance trombonist, arranger & composer who's been a fixture on the Los Angeles music scene for many years. Born and raised in Marshalltown Iowa, he attended Drake University on a euphonium scholarship after high school. More excited by performance and jazz, he transferred to Boston's Berklee College of Music to pursue trombone and music composition. Soon after graduating he joined Maynard Ferguson's band and spent the next 4 years honing his skills, recording 5 albums and 17 of his arrangements and/or compositions with Maynard. After moving to L.A. Lane formed his own band resulting in the “Bone in the USA” album in 1985. By that time he'd been asked to do several long tours with Rod Stewart and then Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. So his band leader days transitioned into side man days, touring extensively with Stewart and later the Who (Quadraphenia) Neil Diamond, Etta James, among others. For the past 20+ years, he's often filled in with the group Chicago. When NOT traveling, Lane has found his way onto over 500 CD recordings as well as hundreds of TV shows & movies. His arrangements & compositions have been featured in all mediums. He has released 2 more CD's of his music….Alias Smith & Lane with baritone sax pal Greg Smith and a B-3 organ trio and Songs of the Heartland….a CD of music Lane composed for the Central Iowa Music Festival featuring full orchestra and chorus. It's Nick's fascination with melody and harmony that has inspired his continuing song writing and composing efforts. In more classical settings he has written extensively for brass: large ensemble, brass quintet, trombone quartet & trio plus numerous commissions for various groups and individuals. With writing partner Doc Kupka, several songs have found their way onto recent Tower of Power CD's as well as projects with vocalists Ray Greene and Ellis Hall. (Available on Strokeland Records website) Lane continues to write, record & produce horn sections in the pop, rock & R&B genres. Still not afraid to “shake it” on stage, these days he's more often found in a recording studio, trying to capture the moment.

RIP) “You give 100% every time you go that stage”  Ray Greene  “The music business has been phenomenal for me, especially the last 10  /15 years of my life”  Ray Greene

Why “losing your life” for Christ is less about moving overseas and more about losing control, what Scripture's focus on Jesus's “one-off” miracles and engagements means for your unseen work today, and how to practically “number your days” so that you may grow in wisdom.Links Mentioned:NOD & GrowThe Sacredness of Secular WorkA Praying LifeWhen Breath Becomes AirFamous at HomeThe Intentional FatherWild at HeartJordan Raynor

This week is the Season 1 finale. My guest is Tom Politzer. Tom is the lead tenor saxophone player for the funkiest band around TOWER OF POWER. Their website is https://towerofpower.com/ Tower just celebrated 50 years as a band and just released an incredible live album 50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater This album captures Tower of Power's storied career with two no-holds-barred victory lap concerts in Oakland, CA on June 1 & 2, 2018, performing their full spectrum of life-affirming funk and soul hits. This historic concert includes special guests Chester Thompson, Lenny Pickett, Francis ‘Rocco' Prestia, Bruce Conte and Ray Greene. Tom was born in Detroit, Michigan the home of Motown and was raise in Palo Alto, Calif. His parents were opera lovers, so he grew up with a strong background in classical music. He took up the clarinet when he was ten and became very proficient playing in the school bands and with local youth orchestras. Half-way through his junior year in high school, the Jazz Band needed someone to fill the baritone sax chair. He was skeptical, but playing Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich and especially “Squib Cakes” by Tower of Power convinced him. Had he not made the switch; he probably would have not become the professional musician he is today. Tom has been a member to Tower of Power for 20 years now. He is part of a fraternity of amazing lead tenor players. Lenny Pickett, Marc Russo, Richard Elliot, Brandon Fields, and Davin Mann to name a few. The lead tenor chair in Tower is one of prestige and honor and Tom has filled that chair with his amazing sound and the hippest licks on every song. The leader of Tower of Power Emilio Castillo, was instantly impressed with Tom and his professionalism and if you watch their shows, he glows with pride every time Tom plays a solo. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yoel-hyman/support

Ray Greene: Here, There, Everywhere: Boston-based vocalist hits the road with Carlos Santana By Curtis Killian In February, Ray Greene ’96 was selected as one of two lead vocalists to join Carlos Santana’s group. This follows Greene’s productive two--year run as lead vocalist for Tower of Power that included appearances on their forthcoming album and tours alongside Journey and Steve Miller. He attributes landing the new gig to making virtual connections. “It’s one of the ways that social media definitely works,” Greene said during a recent visit to his alma mater. “I got a Facebook message from Carlos’s manager about a possible recording project. So I reached out to him and he said, ‘We’re looking to change the energy, so we really want to talk to you about joining the group.’” Greene’s first tour with Santana began just weeks later at the Dubai Jazz Festival. “It’s been a whirlwind going from Tower of Power, which is a legendary group, to Santana, which is another legendary group,” Greene says. “[Santana] sees music way differently than a lot of people do, which is cool. He’s never settling, he’s always trying different things. As long as you can be on the same wavelength with him, it can be a really cool experience. You get the sense that all he wants to do is play, he just loves playing the guitar.“ Greene came to Berklee as a trombone principal, a talent he was able to showcase with the famed Tower of Power horn section in addition to his vocal duties. “I was always content to just be behind my horn,” he says. “There were so many phenomenal singers when I was at Berklee: Marlon Saunders [’87], B. David Whitworth [’84]—who is now with Earth Wind and Fire—and Charles Pettigrew [’84].” But, being the son of a gospel vocalist and growing up in Americus, Georgia, singing came naturally to Greene. “I always had the vocal thing in the back of my mind not knowing if I ever really wanted to pursue it because I love the trombone as well. We started a horn band at Berklee, but they already had a trombonist so they asked me to audition as a singer,” Greene says. “To this day I don’t know how they figured I had these aspirations. Once I had the chance to sing in front of an audience, I was hooked. But I never wanted to stop playing the horn. There’s nothing saying that you can’t do both.” After Berklee, Greene toured with Rick James as a horn player, and since then he has sought to play his horn on every gig. “Getting a chance to play in the horn section with Tower of Power was mind blowing,” he says. “I played on about 27 songs on their new album.” And he’s ready to pick up his horn with Santana. “I always bring my trombone,” he says. “If the call comes, I’m ready. I’ve already had the chance to play on some shows.” When he’s not on the road with Santana, Greene continues to headline one of the preeminent funk-r&b bands in the Boston area, Innervisions. As well, his links to Berklee remain strong. He performed at the 2014 Encore Gala with Berklee’s Tower of Power ensemble and headlined the 2015 gala with Innervisions in support of the Berklee City Music Program. Speaking about connections he’s made with other alumni—including Carlos Santana’s wife and drummer Cindy Blackman ’80—Greene says, “You just cannot get away from Berklee: we’re everywhere! Berklee has a wide reach all over the world.” Curtis Killian is a web content producer for Berklee’s Office of Alumni Affairs.

Ray Greene has performed with several of the biggest names in the fields of Pop and RB, such as Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Rick James, and NKOTB, to name a few. His Gospel release, titled “Songs of Hope, Inspiration and Joy”, garnered much critical and commercial success.  Ray’s latest recording, called “Heaven Bound”, was recently released on his SoulVision Records label.  He also co-produced a Christmas project with well-respected pianist Dow Brain for Underground Productions called “Tell Me the Story of Christmas”, also on SoulVision Records.
